We filmed nearly 250 acts on multiple Arri cameras in the Royal Albert Hall, Abbey Road Studios, Royal Haymarket Theatre, Kennington Studios, Nigeria, Trinidad and Barbados over two months. An incredible feat at the best of times we had to do it all during COVID. The brief was to capture the artists who normally perform at the carnival and key figures who could talk about the history and culture of the event. Aside from keeping the spirit of carnival alive for those millions who normally attend it was the first step towards creating a digital legacy and a way to honour the artists by placing them in high prestige venues. We brought together production talent from advertising, music video’s, live events and documentary to capture everything to the highest standard and do justice to a cornerstone of modern British culture
